Some time back I had read an interview given by daughter of well-known Malayalam writer, M.T. Vasudevan Nair (winner of Janpith award) that she was not able to read and appreciate the works of her father as she had studied in an English medium school and as such her command over Malayalam is very poor while her father was crying hoarse from stage to stage (and in every conceivable forum) about the "demise of Malayalam language and the culture of Kerala!
So language and culture is only meant for the poorest of the poor of the state while the rich and powerful send their children to Doon School or even to other countries for study!
A have great respect for Dr Ananthamurthy as a writer. I would be glad if any one can enlighten me whether he had sent his children to English medium schools or the Kannada medium schools.
